What do reviewers say about Charlie and Forever?
This is a projection fragrance. It announces itself and it lingers. If you've ever walked into a 1970s office and couldn't miss which floor the women worked on, that's Charlie.Charlie
White florals can read old-fashioned to some. But here, grounded in sandalwood and musk, they're less dusty parlour and more quiet confidence. The kind that doesn't argue its point. It's proper, yes.Forever
